master-slave replication
[/ˈmæstər sleɪv ˌrɛplɪˈkeɪʃən/]
nounpl: master-slave replications
replicação mestre-escravo
1. A database replication architecture in which one primary server (master) copies data changes to one or more secondary servers (slaves) that maintain synchronized copies of the data
The company implemented master-slave replication to ensure data redundancy and improve read performance across multiple servers.
A empresa implementou replicação mestre-escravo para garantir redundância de dados e melhorar o desempenho de leitura em múltiplos servidores.
2. A replication strategy where the master node handles all write operations and slaves handle read operations, creating a one-directional data flow
Master-slave replication allows the system to distribute read queries to slave servers while maintaining a single point of write.
A replicação mestre-escravo permite que o sistema distribua consultas de leitura para servidores escravos enquanto mantém um único ponto de escrita.
This term is widely used in database administration and software engineering across both English and Portuguese-speaking countries. However, there has been a recent industry shift toward using 'primary-secondary replication' or 'source-replica replication' to replace the master-slave terminology due to concerns about inclusive language in technology. Both terms remain in use, but newer documentation tends to favor the alternative nomenclature.
